THE London 2012 official Team GB supporters Football shirt has received a lukewarm welcome from a leading fans group.

Priced at £52, and part of the range from official sportswear partner adidas, it is described as “a great gift for the football mad or the Team GB supporter and a unique souvenir of London 2012.”

However, despite the intricate design from a “unique, heat reactive fabric”, the cost of the royal blue top has caused some debate.

The Football Supporters’ Federation feel the pricetag could put some already over-stretched fans off.

FSF chair Malcolm Clarke said: “These are hard times for fans and, while tickets prices are always going to be the prime area of interest for Football Supporters’ Federation members, there will be fans out there who feel strongly about this too.

“At £52, I suspect this piece of merchandise won’t exactly fly off the shelves.”
